If you're losing the battle against a persistent bad habit, an addiction, or a temptation, and you're stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, you will not get better on your own. You need the help of other people. Some temptations are only overcome with the help of a partner who prays for you, encourages you, and holds you accountable.
Rick WarrenOur culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someoneโs lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You donโt have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
Rick WarrenYou'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!
Rick WarrenThere is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
